I knew it was too good to be true when he was announced as director. If PJ does not do it at this point I have no interest in seeing these films. All I'd be able to do while watching is think how much better it would have been if.......oh well, I'll stick to the books. Thanks for hangin' in there GDT. Can't blame you one bit. I look forward to your future projects and will always wish for your version of the Hobbit to have been made. I'm so frustrated with the powers that be right now that I should just stop typing. The Trees will have their revenge!
